I’m coming to terms with the fact that Kody is just naturally special. He was more fearful than his brother and we just have to take in one day at a time. But this morning something really nice happened! We went on our morning walk and I decided to try to get Kody to walk [...]

Not Kody, just another cute dachshund picture! So many things are changing with Kody now that it has me a little bit confused. First of all, he’s becoming a much better dog very quickly. He is no longer afraid of people at all, it seems. He’s not even afraid of children. We were on a [...]
